Compost Top Dressing in the Bristow, Haymarket, Manassas, & Gainesville, VA Areas

Compost topdressing treatments provided in Haymarket, Manassas, and other areas of northern Virginia.

Topdressing is composed of beneficial organic materials that break down into your soil.

For your grass to thrive fully, your soil needs to be chock-full of nutrients and beneficial organic materials. When that soil has a low amount of nutrients, then your grass can suffer. To boost the number of nutrients in the soil, consider adding a topdressing treatment made from compost.

At Patriot Lawn and Landscape, we apply topdressing treatments for residential and commercial properties in Bristow, Manassas, Haymarket, and other nearby areas of northern Virginia.

How Topdressing Benefits Your Lawn & Soil

When our lawn care experts apply the top dressing to your soil, the process entails putting down around a quarter inch of the treatment on top of your lawn. Often, we recommend doing this treatment right after core aeration, as the holes that aeration creates give this material a chance to absorb more deeply into the soil. As the material breaks down, it adds very important nutrients to the soil so that your grass can use it while it grows. Our topdressing is made up of composted materials that are all organic. This treatment provides the following benefits:

• It fosters strong and deep root growth. The materials from topdressing will nourish your grass and help make it stronger, which in turn encourages deeper root growth and stronger grass structure.
• It helps to prevent weeds from growing in your lawn. The layer covers your soil, but not the top of your grass blades, so it helps to block weeds from potentially growing.
• It aids in moisture retention. This layer will help keep water in your soil and protect it from evaporating in the sunlight so that your grass can absorb what it needs for photosynthesis.
• It protects your soil from erosion. With this extra layer, as it breaks down, it provides a barrier between your soil and water runoff. That protects your soil from eroding away in excess water.

If you are not certain about the condition of your soil, our lawn care company can aid you in getting your lawn's soil tested to see if there are any nutrient deficiencies.
